Im always switching putters i will putt amazing for a month or so then nothing will go so i switch putters. What do you putt with? Im 15 and can throw a mile but without putting im still not where i want to be in my game. im open to try anything about now

wizard

Med. Wizard! Don't tell anyone! OK. :cool:174-175g

the absolute most flippy beat to crap oldest avair you've ever seen.

no spin on the putt = discs become much more stable = more touch, less bounce / cuts

I'm a freak.

I putt with (in the same round): A Champion Aero, a 3x JK Aviar, and a proto Omega AP (new pro plastic version)

Every putt is different. I take that approach with my putting. Whichever disc feels right for the putt, I go for it. The Aero is a floater, mainly for uphill putts, or slightly longer ones. The JK is for shorter ones and downhill, mostly. The Omega is more of a long ranger. It's also my go-to when the JK is missing right or low.

With all three, I am pretty much covered for any putt in any condition. But sometimes I just mix em up. In my rounds at worlds, I would say I went 40% JK, and 55% Aero, and 5% Omega.

All putts and approach 100ft and in, soft WIZARD 170-172
Can't beat 'em!! :D

174g Soft Wizard...there's something about soft black wizards that I just love.

Med wizards!

purple Aviar Putter 175 my dad got me when i was 6.

although i got an orange one just like it on ebay and have been breaking it in for the last few months.

: ) :

Softish Glow Wizard with a demon stamp (as of today) and a first run black banger gt. The wizard is for about 90% of the putts, but the absolute lack of float on this banger is great for stiff head winds or down hill shots. I also carry 2 more wizards and a soft magnet for upshots or putts that aren't straight.

11x KC aviars

Why would you keep switching putters? I think this is all in your head. Just pick an Aviar, Wizard or Challenger (which ever one fits your preference) and stick with it. Only use regular grade plastic (hard or soft) and you will be fine.

The putter doesn't make the putt, YOU DO! :)

Look slightly to the left on the screen. That's my putter - a 23-yr-old DGA Kitty Hawk "Shuttle Puppy." It flies absolutely straight, is slightly gummy, and has a little float in the air (which I like).

Who's got the mold?????

Challenger.

How beat? How old?

2 171g DX Aviar P&As, both over a year old, both beat to hell... one red one over a year and a half old same weight. 2 are blue with stamp washed off, oldest one is red :o)

They're so soft... just up and in.

Super Roc

Find one that fits your hand right and feels right when you putt it no matter if goes in or not, and then just keep practicing, everyone is different. I putt with a pro rhyno in case you were wondering, and I go through ups and downs just like everyone.

I went through the same deal of switching around putters and settled with plain ol' Aviars (p&a no bead)
1) they putt great
2) they are cheap
3) you can buy a bunch for 30 bucks so you can have em for practice

its a grid stamped big bead avair that was my super flippy hyzer flip throwing putter 3 years ago.

its so old I get paranoid when people grab it b/c I'm scared it will break in two.

175g hypersoft 3x JK Aviar

Pro-D Challenger!!!

Aviar P&A, bottom stamp :) I've tried lots of other putters, but kept coming back to the Aviar. Just feels the best and I putt the best with it. Find what feels the best and stick with it.

I've gone from Soft Challengers (preferably the UV Soft) to CryZtal Challengers.

I seem to make more from longer distances with the CryZtals.

Oo... thats old. :) (at least in my limited experience!)

UV Soft Challenger, 170-172g. Great-feeling plastic! How can it be grippy and silky-smooth at the same time?

nanook

i went through a similar phase and switched putters. i now will never give up my wizard. i putt with soft (not supersoft) 174-175 and i use med 174-175 to approach/drive. great in the wind and will hold any line. the best putter out there.

Mostly a 175g Aviar P/A. If it's really windy I feel more confident with a Champion Spider which is my short approach disc. It's a little more stable and cuts thru wind better than the Aviar.

sometimes changing putters will help short-term because it makes you focus on feel more, but long-term i think finding something that feels right in your hand and then sticking with it will pay dividends. think about learning the guitar. it's not so much which guitar you use as it is how much you practice and how much natural talent you have.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

what do i putt with?

fear and trepidation! ;)

I carry three Rhynos with me. One Champ for longer putts, a heavy proline for sidearm, and a 160's proline for closer range, tailwind and uphill putts. I've tried other putters, and had some success, but the Rhyno just feels right for me.

175g Aviar-X

Did you ever (in a casual round) pick up your approach disc and just flip it in after missing a 20' or a 30' putt?

Well, after launching my beat-to-death SE Rhyno into the side of the basket (again), I picked up my Aurora MS and drilled it and just said "Why not?" So, for now, I'm putting with my AMS and seem to be doing OK.

Long time Wizard putter, but just converted to Sirius Omega 162 for longer putts, 167 Sirius Omega for everything else. Got the "cleanest" release of anything I've used.

i now will never give up my wizard. i putt with soft (not supersoft) 174-175 and i use med 174-175 to approach/drive. great in the wind and will hold any line. the best putter out there.



That is exactly what I was going to write.

Oldie but goodie:

THE MAGNET - Chain SEEKING/BANGING device!

First Run Pro Aviar - similar to the KC Pro but a tad more stable.

When choosing a putter, you might want to evaluate your putting style, then choose a putter that meets your needs. Questions you should ask:

Do you putt hard w/ a lot of spin or do you finesse (sp?) putt?
What feels more comfortable in your hand: Rigid plastic, Medium plastic, or Soft plastic?
What type of grip do you use when putting (do you leave your index finger on the rim or do you tuck it under the rim)?
Do you prefer a beaded putter or a non-beaded putter (bead = that little rim on the bottom of the putter...visually it's hard to decipher yet it does create a distinctly different FEEL from one bead to another)

Once you answer these questions, you can formulate what putter will work best for you. Another tip....once you choose a putter that feels good, STICK WITH IT! You've got to give it a chance to work for you. Play 10-20 rounds with it....this way your most likely going to play in all types of conditions (wind, rain, humidity). You'll definitely know by this time if the putter is going to work for you. And once you do find a putter you feel comfortable with, buy several of them in the same weight. This way if you lose one, your not inticed to purchase some other putter you know nothing about...talk about regression. Also, it's nice to have several of the same putter so when you practice (yeah, this is the quickest way to get better) you putt with the same thing every time.

Star Aviar 175g P&A mold.
I've tried a lot of putters in the last few years. Found the Aviar is a good fit. Right now, I'm digging the Star P&A for most puts and I use it a lot for approaches that don't need to fade much or need to turn over. It's a solid disc.

If I need to drive with a putter, or need more fade, a 175g 10x KC works for me. I've also been using a 175g Green E Wizard I got a couple years ago. Plastic feels just like my Star Aviar, but it's stable-overstable. I think I like it more than the KC because it has better grip, but it hasn't pushed the KC out of the bag yet.

170-172g APX Elite X putter from Discraft...I can't believe they discontinued it!!!

Flies and floats straight as an arrow, with grippy and durable plastic. Wears in perfect!

dx spider
dx gator if it is windy

Annies & "touch" putts --> fake rubber vomit
Hyzers & flat rammers --> lid of a 5-gallon pickle bucket
Windy --> hubcap ('74 El Camino)
Everything else --> 78rpm vinyl record (Frankie Valle April-October, Dion & the Belmonts November-March)

:p

Cam Todd Challenger (w/ signature stamp)

I have two main putters.
I use an Omega Super soft for any puts that I need to go straight to turn over. It is very reliable and true. I liken it to a softer Aviar. Great grip!
My second putter is a Pro Rhyno. This is my "Bad Boy" putter. It handles any wind and is great for hyzer and trick puts. Nice for side arm flip-ups!
The key to a good putter is finding one that feels good. I tried all sorts before settling on the aforementioned.

Hey you guys putt with the same putter as the USADGC champ!!! 2nd Run Cam Todds are MONEY!!! :D:D:D

Aviar X

Photon Challenger

Aviar. Always an Aviar.

I tried out the Challengers, and much like a Wizard they lack glide. I took a tip from last years USADGC winner ( the one that doesnt get on line and brag about himself ;) ) AO, and shaved off the bottom bead of the Pro-D, and it turned into a pretty sweet putter, but a better approach disc.

I guess this comment depends on how you putt. I consider it an advantage that my Pro-D challenger has a little drop to it because it means my misses are closer to the basket. It is very easy to compensate for the drop by throwing a slightly loftier putt. Although I did not notice much difference between a putt and aproach aviar and a pro challenger is far as glide I do find an older magnet to glide farther than any putter I have ever thrown, and that does not work for me. Particularly for long putts, the challenger enables me to run putts from 50 to 80 feet and not have to worry about a long comeback putt.
The important part is that I haven't changed the putter I use for quite some time and I am very familiar with my Pro Challenger's flight characteristics. I was told by a wise man a very long time ago to "Never change anything about your putting". The longer you play the more important this is. I have changed certain aspects of my putting throught the years, but only if I know for a fact that it will make me better in the long run. I wouldn't change my putter just because I had a couple of bad days, weeks or months.

Youd be suprised. It doesnt make it THAT much more understable. Its still beefier than a DX Aviar.

Always a Aviar. Always copied , never duplicated !!!! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Cashing is Good !!!!! :D

glow wizards

Medium Wizards

Soft Wizard & Soft Challenger

White Pro-D Challengers....the newer runs feel/fly just like the CT's.

Nothing like an overstable putter, except when you shirley the putt and forget it was overstable....then you end up short and left.

I putt with my right hand. The disc doesn't matter.

I hope you do Bud. I used the eye wink thingy, thought youd pick up the sarcasm.
congrats!



I was just messing with you man!!!

Good. Now when can we get your ugly mug off the homepage? :D

You guys need some more CT Challengers? I've got one new 2nd run and 3 used 1st runs. Looking to trade them for some SS Wizards.

and shaved off the bottom bead of the Pro-D, and it turned into a pretty sweet putter, but a better approach disc.



I hope you're joking, b/c that disc is not legal for tournament play........check the rule book

C. Players may not make post-production modification of discs which alter their original flight characteristics. This rule does not forbid inevitable wear and tear from usage during play or the moderate sanding of discs to smooth molding imperfections or scrape marks. Discs excessively sanded or painted with a material of detectable thickness are illegal. See sections 802.01 D, E and F.

Define moderate sanding.....and, if you shave the entire bead, how would anyone know there was a bead to begin with?

glow wizards



Yes !!!!! Now try this with your Glow Wizards , like I just did.

I hope you have a Mach V portable , a Black Light room and Strobe light. These make the effect much better !!!!!!

1st.
Put your Mach V portable into your room with Black Lights. This enhances the effect of the Glow Wizards.
Next.
Take a thin Microphone on a 12+ foot cable and plug into your Stereo system. Thread the micophone down the center of the Pole Hole and crank up the Volume atleast 2/3's the way up !!!!! :cool:

Next. Turn on the Black lights , Stereo System and Strobe lights....................................And start putting.

The Disc will Glow madly and seem to travel at a slow StarWars pace towards the Basket. When it hits the chains ..............your next door neighbors maybe upset and try calling the Police.

When the Police arrive , show them the room and the Glow putters !!!!! They will only ask you , with a smile , to turn down the Volume of your Stereo and shake their heads !!!! :cool:

...And go get a warrent to search your house for illegal substances.

You know, that sounds like an awfully familiar setup from my raving days. Cops included.
